The Seniors section of the Glen Golf Club is open to all members aged 50 and over. There are a number of events and competitions arranged especially for senior members. Senior members are not restricted to seniors' events and may enter any club event for which they are qualified. There is a programme of matches against the Senior sections of local clubs. Players in these matches tend to be those who play in the "bounce" games (see next paragraph), but participation is open to ALL senior members. Anyone who wishes to be considered for selection need only enter their name on the sheet on the Seniors' notice board in the gents' locker room. Sheets are posted two to three weeks before each match. Dates of the matches to be played in 2010 can be found here, and the team selected for each match can be found by clicking on the individual match. Glenelg (Glen Elderly Leisurely (aka Layabout!) Golfers) is the name given to the group of senior members who meet regularly for the "bounce" games which take place three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (subject to the occasional closure of the course for major events). On the occasion of a bank holiday on a Monday, that day's bounce game is rescheduled for the following day (Tuesday) at the same time. The tee is booked from 12:00 noon to 12:37 (half an hour earlier in the winter), which allows a maximum of 6 groups of 4 players. Members who wish to take part should be ready for the draw no later than 11:45 Bounce games have become increasingly popular and well attended recently, and members who wish to take part must sign up on the sheet attached to the Seniors' noticeboard in the dressing room. In the event of there being too many players for the available tee times, late comers on the sign up sheet will have to make their own arrangements for play. To avoid uncertainty about the number who have turned up to play on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays, In any event, all who wish to participate should be present for the draw for partners which will take place no later than 11.50 am (11:20 in the winter). It should also be noted that participation in the bounce games is restricted to Senior members of Glen Golf Club.
